    I have a .22 Creedmoor barrel en route from PVA to pair with my Nucleus. Any opinions on which 6mm Creedmoor brass would be the best to neck down to .22 ? I would prefer to neck down 6mm brass in 1 ( or 2 ) passes, if any 6mm brass is worth using, as opposed to 3 trips for Lapua 6.5 brass.

    If not, I'll bite the bullet and get Lapua 6.5 brass from Bruno's at , cough, cough, a $1.01 apiece. LOL. Thanks for your thoughts and help.
     
    I have used both Alpha 22 Creed and Hornady 6 Creed brass in my 22 Creedmoor. The Alpha brass is far more consistent and will last much longer than the Hornady. Also before going small primer route consider what powder you’ll be using. When trying out RL26 I had much better results with large magnum primer than a small primer. I also ran into bad carbon fouling when running RL26. I have since switched to H4831SC.
